I think it's either A or D

What I do when I'm trying to figure out if something is gramaticalyy correct, is replace the subject with a pronoun.  So for A, the aunts can be replaced with they.  Does this sound right?
They knits hats for gifts every year.

This stuff is hard.  The tricky part of D, is that there is the pronoun either in the sentence.  Either is an indefinite pronoun that sounds correct wither way.
